Happy #WhiskersWednesday to all who celebrate! Just enjoying a MEOW #Hedgewatch - the temperature is much cooler than 2 days ago (by 20 degrees!), but the sun is out & so are the smells!

And now for Whiskers Wednesday I present Alan, a magnificent 20-year-old living at Hearts That Purr Senior Cat Sanctuary in Tucson. He is a skinny little purr machine and a delight. Plus those whiskers...

A clip of Longcroft for #HillfortsWednesday - a complex hillfort to the east of #Oxton in the #ScottishBorders. It had 3 periods of construction that have created four ramparts with intermediate ditches. The traces of several round houses can also be seen.

A bank and ditch at Blackbury Camp, a defensive structure built in the 4th century BC. Tree covered and in a quiet part of Devon. Well worth a visit.

Several oak trees grow from a steep bank and ditch.

Kororipo pā, commanding #Kerikeri basin. It is effectively a promontory fort, w. the inlet on three sides. From here Ngāpuhi Rangitira (chief) Hongi Hika mounted many successful campaigns, armed with muskets gained through trading w. Europeans. #Aotearoa #NewZealand #HillfortsWednesday
📷 my own.

Replica stockade and tower, at the neck entrance to the Pā.

The view across the basin, with the Stone Store - New Zealand's oldest surviving stone building - plainly visible. It was part of the second Church Missionary Society station in the country.

The main bank and ditch defences, with the interior and further defences beyond.

For #HillfortsWednesday, a plan of the early medieval hillfort of Grzybowo, Poland, annotated with the locations of artefacts discovered there. Numismatic items, lead weights and the beam from a set of scales indicate it was a place of thriving trade.
